Best Track Tire for Sport Rays

speedfreek · 09-17-2014, 11:01 AM

More meatier tires would definitely be beneficial in the grip department. But those sizes seem big for the Rays. I need to bite the bullet and get 18's but that won't happen before Z Nationals or with my funds right now.

It looks like the RE-11's are going to be the best tire I can get. Looking at the Hankook RS-3's and they do not come in the right sizes for 19's.

the sizes i have fit perfectly and look like thats what should be on the car honestly.

grip is tremendous. i threw the Z around the dragon with no problems.....well on the times it was dry. the wet was good grip but had limitations on speed for obvious reasons lol zdayz it rained off and on so dry runs were limited.

I know someone selling 305/30-19s that will fit the sport Rays with a bit of bulge... LOL

Don't think I want to run 305's on the stock Rays, thanks though.

Well the F14's are out with the short notice.

So now its Enkei NT03+M in 18x10.5 +30 or Enkei RPF1's 18x10 +38 if I want to run a square setup.

I now have the 305/30-19 Hankook R-S3 (version 1) on the rear and they actually look to fit the rear wheels better than the original 275's. I haven't tracked or autocrossed with the 305's, but I'm not expecting any major problems.

PS: The price for the 305 R-S3 is crazy low right now... On clearance at Tirerack... 305/30-19 R-S3 (version 1) at TireRack

I sell for less

No worries, and I believe Enkei RPF1's come in 18x10.5+38.
